Tatum Waldie's conpendium

Persona Name:  Mercury

Persona Type: Initial Persona

Persona's Arcana:  Star

Owner:  Tatum Waldie

Persona Appearance:  Much like the owner, the Persona follows a sentai styled theme, though there are hints of magical girl as well.  Mercuy wears a full visor helmet, the visor itself perfectly obscuring her face.  When she uses her skills, yellow eyes glow through the visor.  While the visor is deep blue in color, the rest of the helmet is mostly white.  On the forehead, there are three spikes spreading out, giving it a crown-like appearance.  The base of the “crown” has a sapphire gem on it.  Also, there are wings decorations where the ears would be.  The neck, arms, and legs have a white color to them, as though some kind of body suit was being worn underneath the rest of the outfit.  The main armor is very reminiscent of a Sailor Fuku design.  The majority of the armor is white, with armored blue “sailor suit collar” and armored blue “pleated skirt.”  It also bears armored blue shoulder guards.  Down the center of the chest is an armored blue “tie.”  The gauntlets are white in color save for at the base, where it is blue instead.  There are wing decorations along the forearms of gauntlets.  On the back of the hands of each gauntlet are blue sapphires as well.  The armored “knee-high boots” are blue as well, with a sapphire gem right where the knees would be.  The calves of the boots also have wing decorations.  In her left hand, she wields a wand, two snakes coiling around it as they face the base-ball sized sapphire placed at the top of the wand.  The sapphire also has wing decorations.  Mercury stands at a full foot taller than Tatums, standing at 5 feet tall from top to bottom.  Based on appearance alone, Mercury looks as though she would weigh 140 pounds (if not taking armor into account).

Persona Background: Mercury is a major god in the Roman Pantheon.  Mercury is the patron god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence, messages/communication (including divination), travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves.  He also guides to the souls of the dead to the underworld. In his left hand, Mercury carries the caduceus, a rod with two snakes coiling around it and surmounted with wings.  The caduceus carries with it an interesting story.

When Mercury was but an infant, he snuck out of his cradle and made his way to Prieri in Northern Greece.  There he found Apollo's cattle.  One by one, he took the hooves of each cattle and returned them in reverse.  He then reversed his own sandals as well.  Afterwards, he lead the cattle away to a secret location.

Apollo came eventually to find his cattle stolen.  He followed the trail but since it was backwards, he could not make sense of anything.  The trail did not seem to lead to anywhere of meaningful value. Apollo was the god of prophecy, and divined that it was Mercury who was responsible.  Without a second thought, Apollo took Mercury to be judged by Jupiter for his crimes.  Jupiter, however, found great amusement in little Mercury's prank.  In return for absolving him of his crimes, Jupiter made Mercury promise to return the cattle and to give Apollo a proper apology.

Mercury did as promised, but went an extra step in his apology.  He crafted a lyre as a gift of well meaning and gave it to Apollo.  Apollo, who was moved by Mercury's willingness and sincerity, returned the gesture and gave to Mercury the caduceus.  Thus marked the beginning of a strong bond between Apollo and Mercury.

*Note, The story of how Mercury obtained the caduceus is actually the story of Hermes and Apollo's cattle.  Since Mercury is basically the roman version of Hermes, I basically switched out the names where appropriate.

*Note.  This is likely obvious, but in case anyone was curious, the Persona's appearance is based off of Sailor Mercury from Sailor moon.
